I l I Bill Seitz and Irving Patil were the only two letter men to report to Coach Q i I Holmes for track at the beginning of the season. In spite of this fact, the Green 1 V and Gold thin clads have made a more than creditable showing. In the tirst I It indoor meet of the season, that with Ohio VVesleyan, at Delaware, the City 1 ' team managed to garner 3715 to 5725 points for their opponents. Blanchard, Vincent, and Cooper all taking tirsts in this meet. In the State Athletic Carni- Q R val at East Lansing, Yincent won the shot put, Seitz tied for second in the pole p , I vault. and Cooper took third place in both hurdles, an entirely creditable per- l l I i formance. s Ypsi Normal's State Championship team was next on the schedule. Ypsi E won, but not before she knew she was having a tussle. In this meet, Blanchard I f again took a lirst, this time beating out VVerle, Ypsi's Olympic prospectg Seitz took the pole vault: Doherty, the high jump, Vincent, the shot: and the relay Q Q 5 team set a new track record when they covered the 20 laps in 3-322 The linal score was 50-36. Outdoors the team showed up even better.. In the hrst meet with M. A. C. g at Lansing, the team was linally beaten by 2 points, the linal score being 66lg T ,Xl to 6-112. In all, the Green and Gold squad took 8 lirsts and lost the meet only because of lack of numbers. The meet with lYestern State Normal was called I it off because of rain. , l At the State Intercollegiate Track and Fieldmeet at East Lansing, the Detroit 1 ' . I team again showed its superiority over other state teams when she managed P I to cop second place, only four points behind the Ypsilanti team. In this meet the g . Q team managed to beat out :uch institutions as M. A. C. and 'Western State 1 ' ' Normal who always have been strong in athletics. By virtue of their victories I i the College now possesses two cups, one for being runner up in the meet and the f other for taking second in the relay. One of the bright spots of the meet was the fact that the Detroit team was built up primarily of green material. Seitz and . 3 Paul were the only letter men at the beginning of the season. But due to the 6,2 abilities of Coach Holmes, who seems to have the knack of developing material A out of nothing, the team progressed. if JI Altogether the thin clads managed to take three lirst places, seven seconds I .fig and three thirds in the meet. Cooper took a first in the High Hurdles and third me in the lows. Seitz in winning the pole vault tied the state record, and Zuber won , the discus throw. It was only because of being pocketed at the beginning that I I Blanchard and Brown failed to place in their events. 1 I , 5 t ' Ypsilanti won the meet with 36M points while the Detroit aggregation took 2 I p 32213 with VVestern Normal Third and M.

But, in spite of this, the team was organized with Sam Wlilliams lg ft . iv' captain. Meets were arranged with M. A. C., Michigan State Normal College tis ' , , of Ypsilanti and with Grand Rapids Y. Due to a late start, it was impossible , f l to schedule other teams. ' In the lirst meet, that with Grand Rapids, the Detroit team was nosed out 1 3 by Z points, due mainly to the superior showing of Howard Rose, the premier ' V free style swimmer in the State. Then M. A. C. came to Detroit, but went hack j , to Lansing much wiser. They were beaten 37-51. In this meet, George Peckham L was the star, winning both the 50 and 100, and being a member of the winning Q T relay team. Sam lYilliams won the 220, Chaffee took the back stroke, and 7 ' , jaenichen took the breast. Ypsi was the next victim, this time being beaten 5 y , i l i' in her own pool by the count of 40-18. In this meet, as in the previous one, Detroit took tirst in every event except the diving. After a lay off of three 3ff,.'fiig '31 weeks-,the State Normal team was again defeated in the Y pool, this time by ' yi, the score of 32-26. Thus out of four meets, the City team won three and lost lj , the other by 2 points. 1 I George Peckham was the outstanding star of the team, winning 1111 points Vi A in every meet. Chaffee and ,laenichen were the other best point winners, with ' A ' ' Sam XVilliams following. Captain Williams was not entered in the final meet. 2 ' It is expected that next year the college will be represented by an even better I 1 team and will present a better schedule. Members of the team are: Captain Q - Wlilliams, Chaffee, jaenichen, Peckham, Broker, Drane, Taylor, Ertel, Pascoe, T . and Mclintee. The team was managed by jack Milligan. L 2 BOXING AND XVRESTLING , Q , . 5 A great deal of interest was shown in boxing and wrestling during the last i , I year. There were over 100 men in the classes of both sports. Norman VVilliams ,' had charge of the wrestlers, while Michaels and Hoover, also students in the '34 college, instructed the students in the manly art. If the enthusiasm of the iimtfifi ' ' college men continues to grow as rapidly as it has in the past, boxing and wrestling 5 will undoubtedly become major sports. At the U. of M. Carnival, Red Meyer . and Michaels put on exhibitions that pleased the big carnival crowd. The i Detroit men's fighting showed that City College men compare favorably with ' , 5 , Q those of the State University. The Michigan Daily gave a draw decision in Q . I the tight between Michaels CC. C. D.J and Markiewicy tU. of MJ. The same 2 1 5 3 paper gave Hart of Michigan the decision over Red Meyer of Detroit. Two 2 3 I f tournaments were held during the year, with the results given below. All winners 1 f A 1 in these contests were given attractive gold medals for their proficiency. The , i I . student instructors were not allowed to enter the first tournament. i : A-.Q -u M - -wii.. ...R . . . . ...a tix T.: l-Pla-. , 'QffZfQ . Q7? ?f'X., ...Qi aff. . iimffifi. Q.. ff-. 119 i
